Death Dying Unbearable

More From Susan Sontag

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

You are never stuck, unless you are choosing to stay there. you are never limited, unless you choose to limit yourself. you are never less than, unless you choose to see yourself this way. you will never fail, unless you choose failure as an option. you are powerful beyond belief!
Powerful Way Limits
When i beheld you, suddenly - for perhaps a second - i had the strength to reject everything that wasn't you and to laugh at the illusion. but my shoulders are very frail. i was unable to bear the weight of the world's condemnation. and i began to hate you when everything about you would have kindled my love and when love would have made men's contempt unbearable, and their contempt would have made my love unbearable. the fact is, i hate you.
Hate Men Laughing
Brahman is beyond mind and speech, beyond concentration and meditation, beyond the knower, the known and knowledge, beyond even the conception of the real and unreal. in short, it is beyond all relativity.
Real Meditation Mind
Life rises out of death, death rises out of life; in being opposite they yearn to each other, they give birth to each other and are forever reborn. and with them, all is reborn, the flower of the apple tree, the light of the stars. in life is death. in death is rebirth. what then is life without death? life unchanging, everlasting, eternal?-what is it but death-death without rebirth?
Stars Flower Light
Contemplating the suffering which is unbearable to us, and is unbearable to others, too, can produce awake mind, which arises from the compassion that wishes to free all living beings from suffering.

Similar Quotes
Almost without being aware of it, we end up being incapable of feeling compassion at the outcry of the poor, weeping for other people's pain, and feeling a need to help them, as though all this were someone else's responsibility and not our own.
Pain Responsibility Compassion
I presume that you are compassionate: to be without pity means to be sick in body and spirit. but one should have spirit in abundance, so as to be permitted to be compassionate! for your pity is detrimental to you and to everyone.
Mean Compassion Should Have
The ragamuffin gospel reveals that jesus forgives sins, including the sins of the flesh; that he is comfortable with sinners who remember how to show compassion; but that he cannot and will not have a relationship with pretenders in the spirit.
Jesus Compassion Forgiving
With growing awareness, you can see where you're caught or where you suffer or where you create suffering. you can then turn toward the difficulties that arise in your life with compassion, bow, and say, these too are part of human incarnation.
